Made with frozen cauliflower and naturally sweetened with dates, no one would ever guess this mint chocolate chip ice cream is actually good for you! (vegan, gluten-free, soy-free)
Aaaaannnd we’re back with another sneaky Ninja Creami recipe! This one came requested by my 5-year old who is obsessed with mint chocolate chip ice cream. Little does he know, he is getting a serving of vegetables, healthy fats, fiber(!) and protein with his dessert. MUAHAHAHA.
Kids are amazing, man. They will be super sick, barely wanting to touch any kind of food, but you put a slice of cake in front of them? It is ON. Like, what? I don’t get it. But I digress.
Regardless of whether you want to sneak veggies into your kid’s dessert (or your own) I guarantee you that everyone will love this healthier version of mint chocolate chip ice cream. The texture is rich and creamy and the flavor is just the right amount of sweet. Let me show how easy it is to make!
I haven’t tested it using a regular blender so I can’t guarantee results with a regular blender. That said, you can half the recipe and use a NutriBullet to blend one containers worth at a time.
